TwitchCon massively overhauls safety measures after high profile assault on Emiru

TwitchCon, the event all about and for streamers, has announced a series of major changes regarding safety and filming consent in the lead up to its next event. While these changes are great to see, they were a long time coming, and the damage may already be done, as plenty of big names in the streaming community have expressed fear and hesitation over TwitchCon.

The latest incident at TwitchCon, following a growing series of incidents, happened last year when a fan assaulted popular streamer and cosplayer Emiru. While not the first incident, it may have been enough to finally prompt Twitch to implement more safety conscious rules.
